About the Author:

Allen Elrod grew up as an Air Force brat and in a family of 5 other siblings where he honed his humor on the whetstone of life. His diverse background included time working in the renewable energy field, construction, sales, and the personal financial field. He has played competitive soccer late into life, enjoys fly- fishing, and is now finding new things to learn, as well as, exploring his creative side. (He says it is his left side.) A native of Colorado, Allen now lives in Louisville, Colorado. He is available for interviews, guest speaking, or wine parties.

Review:

Allen works out your abs and lungs as you laugh at the musings of a new found Cross Fit fanatic! In a style that rivals the witticism and parody of writers like Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck, Allen takes you inside the twisted torture of Cross Fit. Whether you do Cross Fit, are considering it, or are just trying to figure out what the Millennial kid is talking about next to you at the coffee shop, you have to read this book. - --Sam Peters, author, It s Time: How to Make Positive Changes in Your Life & Life Changing Wisdom

A very funny, overdue, and irreverent take on the fitness craze that captivates millions. - --Larry Weidel, author, Serial Winner
